Subject: RE: security concern - ESX host repeatedly hitting external IP...

I found that same info, but can't ANYONE join pool.ntp.org if they have a 
server with a static public IP?

http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/join.html

I know which host it is coming from, and we're running ESX 3.5. I'll double 
check the guest OSes just for kicks, but wouldn't the packet be coming from the 
guest OS IP Address, and not the ESX host itself? How would I interrogate the 
ESX host?

That isnt pool.NTP.ORG block, which is commonly utilized in ESX environments to 
provide synced time to the ESX hosts and therefore its underlying ESX guests.  
You might need to see which ESX host its coming from and interrogate the ESX 
guests to see who might be possibly behaving badly.

Subject: security concern - ESX host repeatedly hitting external IP...

We're getting ready to decommission an old router, and almost all of the 
traffic to and through it (except broadcast) has stopped. I'm reviewing the 
syslog, and keep seeing this:

9/16/2010 8:36:50 AM [Internal Router Private IP Address] Informational 
SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP 651364: 44w0d: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list permit_any 
permitted udp [ESX Private IP Address](0) -> 72.18.205.156(0), 1 packet

I've asked our VMware admin to look over his host configuration to make sure he 
isn't pointing to the old router, but he says everything is "fine."

Anyone else seen this or have any ideas as to why I'm seeing this traffic?

Upon Googling said IP Address, it appears that it may be part of pool.ntp.org, 
but I cannot confirm this. This host is located in Warminster, PA, according to 
some sites.
